Gay Marriage Comes to Town

I voted against him because I don't like his hair, but our new mayor is turning out okay (for now). Gavin Newsom wants San Francisco to offer marriage to any couple, gay or straight. Sure, it's symbolic, but it wouldn't be healthy for San Francisco's image to get trumped on this issue by the some east-coast state.

The issue is custom-built to hurt John Kerry. His wishy-washiness on gay marriage is one reason I liked Dean better. But it will make the election in November interesting; we'll see if the threat of married gay people looms larger than Iraq in the collective mind.

Waterbones fails to see the problem with gay marriage, and Misanthropicity is disappointed with old-school civil rights leaders.

ALSO: Waterbones blogged the Michigan caucus last weekend (scroll down to "Jobs and Healthcare"), and even called the results. And Misanthropicity has hideous news about death camps in North Korea.

I'm behind on my logrolling because of a computer malfunction; the lovely G4 laptop screen is dying by slow flicker. I've resorted to a yellowish old CRT that makes this blog look awful. For anyone who has to read this on a smallish screen: I am truly, truly sorry about the cramped design. I'm working on it. I swear.
